League-leading Ducks play host to Canucks

Update: The NHL-leading Ducks (14-3-1, 29 points) have won four consecutive games and are 7-0-0 at home. It’s their best start to a season since they went 13-1-4, 30 points, to open 2006-07, when they went on to win the Stanley Cup championship. The Ducks’ top line of left wing Dustin Penner, center Ryan Getzlaf and right wing Corey Perry is sizzling. Penner has eight points (one goal, seven assists) in his last five games, and the Ducks are 10-0-1 with him in their lineup. Penner’s plus-minus defensive rating of plus-18 is the best in the league. Getzlaf has a team-leading 22 points (10 goals, 12 assists), and was second in the league in scoring after a four-point game in the Ducks’ 6-2 win Friday over the Buffalo Sabres (three goals, one assist). Perry has 10 points (five goals, five assists) in his last eight games. The Canucks were 11-5-2, 24 points, going into Saturday’s game against the Kings.
